"Briony has a secret.
It is a secret that killed her stepmother, ruined her sister's
mind, and end her life, if anyone were to know.
Briony is a witch. And she can see the Old Ones, the spirits that
haunt the marshes surrounding the town - The Dark Muse, the Reed Spirits, the
Mucky Face, and the Wythes. She is the only one who can, besides the Chime
Child who sentences witches to death. Then Eldric comes along with his golden
lion eyes and a great mane of tawny hair. He is as natural as the sun, and
treats her as if she's extraordinary. And everything starts to change...."
When I started reading this novel, my expectations were low. The
book was very vague on the time period with which it was set, so it was hard
for me to understand the language, however I soon caught on. And with that, the
book went into full swing and it was great. The reviews and everything you
heard is true. Chime is a classic of this generation and Franny Billingsley is
a woman with a powerhouse full of imagination and creativity.
